The founders make way for new generation on Joint’s 10th Anniversary.
The independent creative agency Joint, based in London, has announced a new leadership team to drive growth for the next decade and beyond.

Joint’s founders said: “We can’t think of a better way to celebrate an incredible decade of growth than by appointing Matthew, Algy and Rowenna to lead our business for the next ten years and beyond.
“We want to ensure that the best people are at the helm of Joint and they have demonstrated time and again they have what it takes to push the business forward.”
Having a seamless succession plan with three such proven leaders is great news for Joint, our teams and our clients.
Robinson joined Joint in 2016 as a Partner, having previously held roles at AMV BBDO, Weapon 7, Anomaly and Saatchi & Saatchi. Since then he has helped Joint win accounts such as Uswitch, Amazon Prime and Kettle Chips amongst others.
“Joint is packed with incredibly talented people and we have just had one of our best years both creatively and commercially. It is an honour to be taking on this role and working alongside Rowenna and Algy, I am so excited about what Joint is going to achieve in the years ahead.”
